Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Market Day by John Meyer was sold in the Modern & Contemporary African Art auction at Bonhams in London in March last year. The price achieved of GBP 19,000.00 (€ 22,526.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Meyer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Waterberg Wanderings, which sold at auction in November last year for USD 69,300.00 (€ 67,131.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Market Day von John Meyer wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 19.000,00 (€ 22.526,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John Meyer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Waterberg Wanderings beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für USD 69.300,00 (€ 67.131,65) versteigert wurde.
